surviving
i've actually gotten everything i needed to do done this week. it's really impressive, actually. and aside from the exhaustion of 3 hours of sleep last night, on top of little sleep every other night, i feel really good about it.
in fact, i'm generally feeling good about everything right now. not that this is really a surprise. but there have been little things that have ticked me off, though i'm over it now. i'm zen once more.
i have one draft of a paper due next week, one french presentation that i spent all day today working on but don't have to give until tuesday, and i think that's it. which is awesome. because i've decided i'm really going to focus on work now. i love to learn, and i hate the feeling of not having gotten my work done. so i'm reminding myself that i'm here to learn, and i'm learning for learning's sake, not because anyone's making me. which should motivate me better.
luckily, i don't have to be motivated until sunday. because tonight dea gets here, and then i'm filming, and then i'm sleeping like nobody's business ;-) and tomorrow, i'm convincing one - or both - of the jeffs to come shopping, since they're over that magic age. and dea and i will chill, and then i'll film for a bit, and then it'll be party prep time! and then our fabulous party! :-D saturday will be the chillest day ever, where dea and i just chill, and she *doesn't* see $&@*&%#$!% (haha) and then there's an army-themed party that night. sunday morning, dan and i are imposing a brunch on cast and crew, and then it will be battle scene time! quan. and then dea will leave and go back to princeton (sadness!) and life will go back to being quiet. and by quiet, i mean, normal insanity.
and then one week and i'm going to berktown and my beloved bay area. warm weather, freyan, my family, break from school, MY BIRTHDAY... ::contented smile:: hahaha
